Wheel Centering Products for Hub Piloted Wheels

Stop wheel hop and vibrations on hub piloted wheels!

If you are experiencing wheel vibrations, wheel hop, brake pedal pulsations, erratic tire wear and excessive fuel consumption than your problem may be that the wheels aren’t centered on the hub. The Wheel Centering products can re-center your wheels, and eliminate these problems.

If your hub piloted wheel is sitting on the hub stud off-center (as shown in the illustration to the left) you need these parts and tools to avoid wheel hop and excess tire wear, and to increase your fuel mileage.

The theory behind the hub pilot is it centers the wheel. Unfortunately, gravity causes the weight of the wheel to rest only on the upper pilots creating a gap in the bottom pilots. Even the smallest gap results in an egg-shaped motion upon rotation. This uneven motion creates rolling resistance which causes tire vibration, increased fuel consumption and erratic tire wear.

Wheel Centering Tool Sets

Simply Slide the 3 centering tapered tools over the wheel studs at the 12, 8, and 4 o’clock positions; mount wheel and add lugnuts; remove the tools and replace remaining lugnuts, torquing to manufacturer specifications. The wheel is now completely centered.

The 32115 is for Ford F450/F550 Super Duty. These tools slide directly over the wheel studs in the 12, 4, and 8 o’clock positions. The wheel is then installed over the tools, the stud nuts added to the exposed studs and tightened. The wheel is now centered precisely.

Wheel & Brake Drum Centering Sleeves

These sets center both steer axle HD wheels and brake drums to minimize wheel vibrations, brake pedal pulsation, and wheel hop. For both Aluminum and Steel steer wheels and a variety of brake drum types.
